Giant-Anakonda is desperately looking for new home in Quickborn!

Quickborn, Deutschland - In Quickborn in the Pinneberg district, a yellow anaconda was discovered, which is now looking for a new home. The animal was found on June 1 by an attentive cyclist in a stream and then recovered by the fire brigade. This rescue operation required four hours and was supported by a reptile expert after the fire brigade had difficulty finding a specialist in transport. The snake is currently located in a reception center for wild animals in Klein Abteth-Sparrieshoop, where it cannot remain permanent because the capacities are at the limit. Station manager Christian Erdmann said that the Anakonda is housed in a large dog box because all terrariums are occupied. The financial Situation of the wild animal center is tense because a new terrarium would cost 8,000 euros, which cannot be financed.

The police in Quickborn are now investigating a possible violation of the Animal Welfare Act. It is assumed that the anaconda has been suspended. The animal can be up to four meters long and over 40 kilograms. Although the anaconda is not toxic, it can bite vigorously and hold her teeth in the victim. Anacondas are at home in large parts of South America and spend a lot of time in waters, where they can also dive up to 15 minutes, which makes them particularly skilled hunters.

Despite intensive efforts, the wildlife center has so far only received cancellations of zoos and catch stations in Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony, Hamburg and Bremen. As a rule, these facilities do not take on finds to avoid possible diseases. Erdmann emphasized that the current situation for the Anakonda is not wearable. Animal protection is anchored in Germany, and the law regulates the attitude, care and accommodation of animals to guarantee your needs. Article 20a of the Basic Law emphasizes the responsibility of the state to protect animals and to ensure it. One point that is specially presented in these cases is the possibility of making legal remedies for animal welfare associations against administrative acts of authorities.

The hope is that a suitable new home will be found for the anaconda before it is too late. The reserved reactions of the night bars show how important animal protection legislation is in Germany and how necessary it is to strengthen the responsibility of all pet owners. The further legal foundations of animal welfare have been supplemented by various legal changes in recent years to ensure the reduction of sufferings for animals.

For those who are in the region and have the opportunity to offer a new home for the Anakonda, this could be a way to give this outstanding snake a second chance. The search for a suitable place continues, while the authorities and animal welfare organizations strive to secure the well -being of the animal.
